Paladin D Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Heard of something called, Windows Service Pack 2? If you have Windows XP, download it. It comes with a pop-up blocker in IE and has boosted up it's security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea348 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 it's reduced my pop-ups by a lot.....but now i've got little pops whenever one is blocked....kind of annoying, but better than the pop-ups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aluigi Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 maybe they didn't EXACTLY say switch to firefox they just said Internet Explorer is very vulnerable [url="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/switch.html"]http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/switch.html[/url] [url="http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA04-293A.html"]http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA04-293A.html[/url] [url="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/computersecurity/2004-09-08-zombieinfect_x.htm"]http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/computer...bieinfect_x.htm[/url] Firefox is better.

I use both, but IE more than Firefox. Even though IE is a dinosaur, sometimes Firefox and other browsers are a little too touchy when it comes to reading the coding. I visited a couple sites with Firefox, and everything was out of place. With IE, it was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aluigi Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 yeah, but have you noticed when you do that ctrl f to find, it makes a neat little toolbar below the screen, and you can have it highlight a specific word, and if you leave that up and go to other sites, it'll highlight that word on any site! very valuable when scrolling through PM topics and bein like... wait, i remember seeing this interesting topic, it was by such and such, so then you do ctrl f, type in their username, click highlight, and scroll to find the topic quickly and easily! firefox is more PM friendly! vote for firefox!
